If and when I have a thought, and have ten minutes in the office, I might write mildly diverting thoughts here: about new media in real life, about the web, about the future. But mostly, I think, I'll just wiffle about nothing.

OK, so I'm a sucker for personality tests; good ones, that is, not 'Which Desperate Housewife are your shoes like?' of course.

So this one is interesting; I'm a cautious artist, which is quite a nice way of describing me. The extraordinary thing is how very low I score on confidence. Ouch.

Interestingly, though, it rates me as an ISTP on the Myers Briggs, whereas two years ago I was an ISTJ; I think it's more accurate, as the judging aspect of my old categorisation indicated much stronger adherence to rote and rules and convention than I have. Also, the ISTP is fiercly territorial, which is accurate...

Of course, the problem I now have is working out how to make use of the insight...

Heh - you want to take Baron-Cohen's gender scale thingy - it used to be on the Guardian site. It mapped your empathising against your systematising traits: girls generally fall in the upper quartile for empathising, and the lowest quartile for systematising.
